If I was this useless, you would still have to torture me to get me to write this.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Artists of Bluesky, please try out the Repost Queue and let me know how you are using it and what could be improved! #art

deck.blue@deck.blue · 13h ago

The main usage for this was thought of with a few artist friends of mine which basically boils down to this: - As an artist, you're now able to keep a sequence of reposts (say, every 2 hours) for your latest publications or even some old ones in-between; you can set it to "loop" until you change it

> systemic harms can arise when AI is uncritically embraced as a revolution for women’s health. [Concerns involve] (1) impoverished understandings of gender and sex, which are (2) fed uncritically into AI models surrounded by hype, leading to (3) harms rather than improvements in health. 1/n

my main concern is the harm rather than the output, so i don't really need to hear a product testimonial from someone who found it useful. because i don't care

Anthony Moser@anthonymoser.com · 11mo ago

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!" but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

the "specific group of people" is what makes this platform good though, we don't want nazis here

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

dear god, hearing the way some people have just completely integrating AI shit into their everyday lives is so sad and embarrassing and alienating. you motherfuckers have me on the verge of believing in the existence of the human soul. awful

it's kind of funny how early wikipedia was strongly dismissed as an unreliable source for research despite being pretty good if you could parse sources and citations and now we have a homunculus that actually fabricates incorrect unverifiable info and makes up sources and people take it seriously

A. K. Venrinn@venrin.bsky.social · 5d ago

Omg not Hank Green using AI for research and calling to his “bad habit” 💀😭🤡

wondering what this was trained on and then getting mad

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d ago

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

it really does

the first thing I did when I started receiving money from ko-fi back then was to hire a designer to help with rebranding this check the full presentation deck here!

Every time you ask AI something, remember a human had to write, source, and verify that knowledge first.

Human authorship can only be proven by human means. Humans labor, AI doesn’t. Writers think, pause, reflect, and resculpt; a block of AI-generated text doesn’t. AI verifiers aren’t the future. The human resistance will use human evidence.

In case you haven’t heard, Substack, the online publishing giant, have partnered with the AI-verifier tool Pangram. All text posts over 100 words will be subject to an AI verification test with the click of a button. This is damaging for writers of all stripes. Here’s why 🧵 shorturl.at/6lyl2

Substack adds an AI detector to help spot blogs written by no one

Substack is combatting “Claudefishing.”

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

"I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and it’s impossible to have rational conversations with them about it." AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making

Hi @deck.blue I have no idea how difficult it would be, so it might be a no-go. But it would be nice to have a imbedded translate feature.

this shot is so bleak lmao

All generative text is a hallucination, some of it is correct and some of it is incorrect, and the computer has no idea which is which / there’s no invisible switch toggling between one or the other. Getting it right is as much an accident as getting it wrong

Thinking about Satoru Iwata today, for some reason.

I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.
